entering my bitch era (trying to get more into twitter fandom and finding my tl flooded with people talking about A Certain Popular AU Fic that is, frankly, mostly just fine, and being overwhelmed with some of the pettiest little jealous rages you ever did see)

#pointless post is pointless #like damn at least [other popular au fic] is extremely fucking good #where's MY fandom-within-a-fandom?? where's MY pages and pages of fanart??#plus i'm so sick of smau's since joining twitter it's going to drive me crazy #everyone and their god damn dog has about four on the go what the shit #not that the format /can't/ be used well but so many of them are boring and badly written #and still have big followings because - ???????#because i have no idea why #also reading fic on twitter is a nightmare and i don't know why anyone would prefer it over ao3 #broken threads and the inability to edit and jfc #when you COULD have centralised tags and word counts and chapter breaks and edits #is it just because it's suited to mobile format????? what IS it about these things that seems to have captured everyone so much??#UUUGGGHHHHHHHH #please no one take this as an attack i am fully aware i'm being a mean and jealous little killjoy lol #maybe i really do just have an overinflated sense of my own talent lmao #edit: OH AND OF COURSE on twt you need to ADD ALT TEXT TO IMAGES THAT ARE NOTHING BUT SCREENSHOTTED PROSE #because the basic premise of a smau is actually really fucking difficult to execute #(a story told primarily through the medium of images text messages and social media exchanges)#so most of them resort to PRIMARILY using prose interspersed with flavour images #in which case WHY would you post it on TWITTER #the defining feature of which is A VERY SMALL CHARACTER LIMIT
